The D'amend Dogs {16-20, 5-7) hope to bring their SEC record
to .500 as they open a three-game series with the 13th-ranked
Tennessee Volunteers tonight at 7 p.m. at Foley Field.
Saturday is Ernie Johnson Sr. Day at Foley Field.

DRAFT: Dogs have high hopes
From page 1
“A lot depends on where (Notre Dame’s) Aaron
Taylor goes. If Taylor falls out of the top dozen it
would push all the lineman down.”
Davis was consistently rated as a potential top 50
pick during the fall, but for no definite reason he has
seen his rating slide.
“You never know where you are going to go in the
draft, so I’m just trying to stay positive,” Davis said.
*1 hear a lot of different rounds, mostly second or
third, but the players don’t know where they will be
drafted, a lot of draft experts don’t know, only the
teams know who they will take.”
Davis earned All-SEC honors his junior and senior
seasons. He set a Georgia record last season by record
ing 13 quarterback sacks, to finish his career with 27.5
sacks and a 141 tackles.
Davis was also hurt by his performance at the
scouting combine, where he ran a 4.74 second 40-yard
dash. Davis said he ran times of 4.56, 4.61 and 4.63
during a recent workout for NFL clubs.
“I don’t have Davis that highly rated,” Coyle said.
“His speed has really hurt him. I think he’ll go some
where in the middle rounds, fourth to sixth round
area. He was rated as a top 50 player, but his perfor
mance his senior year really hurt him.”
Tremble (5-foot-10, 188 pounds) hopes scouts refer
more to his junior season, when he made 102 tackles
to earn All-SEC honors at free safety, rather than look
at his disappointing senior year at cornerback.
While TVemble’s position move hurt his individual
accomplishments as well as the Bulldog defense, it
may end up improving his chances of having a suc
cessful NFL career.
Tremble’s experience at both positions may help
land him earlier playing time as an extra defensive
back.
“At first I thought playing corner was a real down-9
fall because I didn’t have as good a year as I did at
safety,” Tremble said. “But now it may help me. Some
teams want me as a corner and some want me as a
safety.”
“Tremble’s got a make (NFL Roster) grade in my
book,” Coyle said. “His versatility could help him
make it in a nickel or dime alignment. I think he’ll go
in the sixth or seventh round.”
Tremble said he was graded as a 6.7, out of a pos
sible seven, in a recent workout with the Cleveland
Browns. He has hopes of being drafted as high as the
third round. However, some draft experts put a heavy
emphasis on his senior season.
“He played better as junior than a senior. He looked

real uncomfortable at corner,” Bushbaum said.
“Tremble will probably be a free agent.”
A strong senior season helped boost Mitchell (6-
foot-1, 248 pounds) into a position where he may be
drafted. He was named All-SEC last season after
catching 49 passes for 539 yards.
Georgia offensive coordinator Wayne McDuffie
switched to a four wide receiver set midway through
last year in order to take advantage of quarterback
Eric Zeier’s talent. After one game he moved Mitchell
to the H-back position in order to keep him on the field
as much os possible. The move may help Mitchell
make an NFL roster, where versatile tight ends are a
key.
“I think Mitchell will make a team,” Coyle said.
“Because teams are carrying three tight ends and he’s
a pro-style H-back. He’s small, but is a tremendous re
ceiver. He has a chance to be a late rounder.”
Underclassmen will dominate the top picks of the
first round at Sunday’s NFL draft in New York City.
Of the 29 underclassmen to declare themselves
eligible for the draft, ten are projected as first-round
picks. No one can accurately project the first round
or any part of the draft, especially when writing a
preview four days before the event, but here goes
one junkie’s mock first round.
1. Cincinnati - Dan Wilkinson, DT, Ohio State.
The Bengals will get plenty of offers from teams at
tempting to trade up, but can’t pass up a 6-foot-4,
313 pound, 21-year-old, who runs a 4.72 second 40-
yard dash and
bench presses
500 pounds.
2. Indianapo
lis - Marshall
Faulk, RB, San
Diego State.
Yes, the Colts
traded Jeff
George to
Atlanta, but
they may need Faulk more than a quarterback. They
could trade down to a team looking to draft a quar
terback.
3. Washington - Heath Shuler, QB, Tennessee.
The Redskins released Mark Rypien, so whichever
quarterback the Skins take, pencil him in for the
next 10 years.
4. New England - Bryant Young, DT, Notre
Dame. Bill Parcells will either trade up or down.
Expect Dilfer to be picked in this spot if not sooner,
unless Parcells is somehow unable to deal.
5. L.A. Rams - Trent Dilfer, QB, Fresno State.
The Rams hope he slips to this spot, but don’t bet on
it. Young may go here.
6. Tampa Bay - Aaron Taylor, OL, Notre Dame.
The Bucs would love to get Young. Could also take
Aaron Glenn.
7. Indianapolis - Trev Alberts, OLB, Nebraska.
Replacement for free agent departure Duane
Bickett. Could trade down or take Adams.
8. Seattle - Sam Adams, DL, Texas A&M. Cortez
Kennedy needs help up front.
9. Cleveland - Aaron Glenn, CB, Texas A&M. The
Browns would love for him to fall in their lap, if not
they might grab Langham.
10. Arizona - Willie McGinest, DE, USC. Buddy
Ryan always likes pass rushers, and that’s all this
tweener is.
11. Chicago - John Thierry, OLB, Alcorn State.
Incredible athlete who could dominate in a couple of
years.
12. New Orleans Antonio Langham, CB,
Alabama. I don’t care if he runs a 4.6, he’d be a steal
at this spot.
13. New York Jets - Charles Johnson, WR,
Colorado. His rating has fallen, but the Jets need re
ceivers.
14. Philadelphia - Wayne Gandy, OT, Auburn.
Could take Bernard Williams.
15. San Francisco - Jamir Miller, OLB, UCLA.
Has seen his rating skyrocket in recent weeks.
16. Miami - Bernard Williams, OT, Georgia. The
Dolphins would like Miller, but settle for the best
player left on the board.
17. Pittsburgh Johnnie Morton, WR, USC.
Might take William Floyd. They could also trade up
to get a defensive lineman.
18. Minnesota - William Floyd, RB, FSU. Will fit
in well with their new offense.
19. Minnesota - David Palmer, WR, Alabama.
He’s short and small, but will be a threat to score ev
ery time he touches the ball on their AstroTurf.
20. Green Bay Charlie Garner, RB, Tennessee.
Could take Errict; Rhett.
21. Detroit - Todd Steussie, OL, California. Great
pass and run blocker.
22. L.A. Raiders - Errict Rhett, RB, Florida. Will
be a work horse.
23. San Francisco - Dewayne Washington, CB,
North Carolina State. They need defensive help ev
erywhere.
24. New York Giants - Derrick Alexander, WR,
Michigan. Improves team speed at receiver.
25. Kansas City - Darnay Scott, WR, San Diego
State. Gives Joe Montana a deep threat.
26. Houston - Isaac Davis, OG, Arkansas. Gives
needed help to once great offensive line.
27. Buffalo - Joe Johnson, DE, Louisville. Adds
youth to aging front seven.
28. Dallas - Tre Johnson, OL, Temple. Will help
replace free agent losses.
29 Philadelphia - Greg Hill, RB, Texas A&M.
Will be hard to sign.
Lady Bulldogs remain undefeated in SEC
By RACHEL KING
Staff Writer
The second-ranked Lady Tennis
Dogs continued to steam roll their
way through the SEC as they de
feated No. 18 South Carolina 7-2
on Thursday, taking their tenth
conference win.
“The best things I saw happen
ing out there on the court were our
players attacking and stepping for
ward and finishing a lot of points
at the net,” said assistant tennis
coach Mark Guilbeau.
Tina Samara led Georgia with a
win over Muriel Abella, 6-2, 6-2, at
the No. 5 singles position. With
partner Stacy Sheppard, Samara
also clinched the match for the
Lady Bulldogs as the eighth-
ranked tandem beat Abella and
Sophie Ljucovic, 6-0, 7-5, in the No.
2 doubles pairing.
In singles action, Georgia’s
third-ranked Angela Lettiere de
feated Helen Crook, 6-3, 6-1.
Michelle Anderson beat South
Carolina’s Victoria Davies, 6-2, 6-2,
and Lady Bulldog Anne Chauzu
won in three sets over Clare
Hammond, 6-7, 6-3, 1-6.
Georgia suffered two losses in
singles play. Brooke Galardi lost
her first match of the season in
dual match action to Ljucovic, 3-6,
1-6, and Stacy Sheppard was de
feated by Heather Greene, 6-7, 5-7.
In doubles, the top-ranked
Georgia pair of Anderson and
Lettiere easily handled Crook and
Davies, 6-2, 6-3. Georgia’s Chauzu
and Lisa Salvatierra won over
Greene and Tracy Pulliam, 6-1, 6-
3.
“It was a great win, but we are
anxious to get back to the practice
courts and the track tomorrow to
work on some key skills and to
build endurance for the SEC’s,”
Guilbeau said.
Georgia meets Tennessee in
Athens on Sunday in their last
dual match of the season.
Men’s golf team drives for top-three finish
By GUY ORTOLANO
Staff Writer
It’s not exactly a race for the
pennant, but the Georgia men’s
golf season is starting to get inter
esting.
Coming off their first champi
onship of the year at last weekend’s
Music City Invitational, the
Bulldogs need a top-three finish at
the Billy Hitchcock Invitational
this weekend in Auburn, Ala., to
have a chance at qualifying for next
month’s NCAA East Regionals.
After struggling for most of the
season, the young Georgia golfers
have put themselves in a position
spot
the
to challenge for
Regional.
Going into last weekend’s tour
nament in Nashville, they knew
they needed two top-three finishes
in the last two tournaments of
April if they were to have a chance.
Their victory at Music City puts
them within one top-three finish of
a berth in the Regional, which will
be held the weekend after the SEC
Championships next month, May
19-21.
The Billy Hitchcock Invitational
will be played this weekend at the
Saugahatchee Country Club, a
6,652-yard, par-72 course.
The tournament will consist of a
12-team field, made up of a major
ity of SEC schools, including
Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, LSU,
Ole Miss, Mississippi State, South
Carolina and Tennessee.
Opponents of particular interest
to Georgia will be Tennessee and
South Florida, which both compete
with the Bulldogs in District III
South. Not only do the Dogs need to
finish in the top three of the tour
nament, but they also need to fin
ish ahead of the Volunteers and
South Florida.
Georgia has had success at this
tournament in recent years, win
ning the team title in 1990 and
1991.
